Day # 2

Day #2 - Turtle Squares

Bottom Layer:
1 cup hard butter
1 3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chopped peacans

Filling:
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup hard butter
2 tbsp corn syrup

Topping:
2/3 cup semi-sweet or milk choc. chips
2 tbsp hard butter

Bottom Layer:
Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add next 6 ingredients. Stir together well. Press into greased 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes.
Filling:
Measure all 4 ingredients into heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir. Bring to a boil. Boil slowly, stirring continually, for 5 minutes. This burns easily on the bottom. Remove from heat. Beat slowly with spoon for 2 minutes, until mixture shows signs of thickening a bit. Do not overbeat or it will be too hard upon cooling. Spread over bottom layer. Cool.
Topping:
Melt chips and butter in small saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often. Spread over cooled filling. Cut into squares.
